OPERATION
DISC FORMATS
The player is compatible with DVD, CD, CD-R CD-RW, MP3, and
JPG discs. When
½
appears on the TV screen, this indicates that the
function or operation is not available. This occurs because the DVD
manufacturer determines the specific functions. Certain functions
may not be available on some discs. Be sure to read the
documentation provided with the disc.
Notes:
This unit supports 2-channel (L/R) audio and 5.1ch (Multi-
channel) MPEG Audio 1/2 (only when the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT coaxial jack is used for connection). It does not support
7.1 channel MPEG Audio Version 2.0.
When playing back a CD-G (Graphics) or CD EXTRA disc, the
audio portion plays, but the graphic images are not shown.
You may not be able to play back some DVD discs on this unit if
they were purchased from outside your geographic area or made
for business purposes.
Dolby Pro Logic II
¯
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from
two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity
matrix surround decoder that extracts spatial properties of the
original recording, without adding new sounds or tonal colorations.
Dolby Digital
¬
Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories
Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when
connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier.
This unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded
with Dolby Digital. Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with
six channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in
Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your
DVD Unit.

Title, Chapter and Tracks
DVDs are divided into “titles” and “chapters”. If the disc has more
than one movie on it, each movie would be a separate “title”.
“Chapters” are sections of “titles”. Numbers identify each title,
chapter, and track on a disc. Most discs have these numbers
recorded on them, but some do not.
Audio CDs are divided into “tracks”. A “track” is usually one song on
an audio CD.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the front of the
unit. When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of
the infrared remote sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable
operation. The recommended effective distance for remote operation
is about 16 feet (5 meters).

output from the S-video and RCA (CVBS) video jacks.
